Rand Paul actually said...

"Over the years I have been an outspoken critic of socialism, in general, Chinese socialism, Mao, the history of trying to get to absolute socialism in China."

"I am worried about legislation that begins to ban trade with China."

"If the goal of the tariffs is to change China, we have plenty of evidence that they do not work in that regard."

"Remember what Bastiat said, 'when goods don't cross borders, soldiers will'."
